AWH Colour Creations Blog Hop - Week16- Calypso Coral

Contributors to this blog hop are all members of Claire Daly's Art With Heart group. Every Wednesday night at 8p.m AEST we feature a fabulous Stampin' Up! colour, in alphabetical order.

Week 16 brings Calypso Coral to the forefront and I have paired it with Petal Pink, Soft Sea Foam and Old Olive.

Recently I presented a class using only Online Exclusives and Irresistible Blooms was one set used. For this reason alone, I have used it again to show off Calypso Coral, these flowers are really bold & beautiful.

You may be wondering about the die cut piece behind the flowers. The inside part of it comes from Irresistible Blooms dies, it usually cuts out an opening in the card. I found that the large circles from Spotlight on Nature dies can cut it out, making it doubly useful!

Our next talented Art With Heart team member is the lovely Andrea Sargent.

If at any time you find a broken link or would like to see a full list of participants, please head to the blog of our host of the AWH Colour Creations Blog Hop, Catherine Proctor.

Happy crafting,

Colour Creations- Week #43 - Rich Razleberry

Rich Razzleberry is our featured colour, a part of the Regals family. It's been quite a while since I used Rich Razzleberry but it goes really well with Pretty Peacock, a returning colour which I still have card and ink for. I think Pretty Peacock will end up in the Regals too, so I wonder what will retire?

Despite trying to follow a budget each month, every now and again even I break the rules. When Demo pre-order for the Irresistible Blooms Suite was announced, it was ... irresistible! This is a special 'Online Only' offering, available from March 1st and with no set end-date.

It's not just one thing with this suite, it's the whole package. The paper comes in gorgeous patterns and colours, the dies are mostly flower and leaf outlines for the stamped images, except for this lovely strand & bubble piece and the circle is cut out with the same strand & bubble effect surrounding the circle.

Using Rich Razzleberry ink, I simply stamped the two flowers onto white card stock and spread the ink about with a water painter. The same process happened with the stamped leaves, only in the returning colour, Pretty Peacock. All four of the suite offering are on this card - there's paper, stamps, dies and gems. I ordered them all with the one simple code.

I am away having quality family time including a trip to see Mary Poppins with my grand-daughter, so this week I will link to Andrea Sargent, and cross my fingers there is no problem!

More Irresistible

The Irresistible Blooms suite has 4 items - stamps, dies, designer series paper and gems. The paper is called Hello Irresistible, and there are some gorgeous patterns and colours in there including two returning favourites - Pretty Peacock and Lost Lagoon. I'd say we are safe to assume a colour refresh is coming soon.

                 

A piece of the Hello Irresistible paper in Flirty Flamingo was cut for a half card front and a bunch of water coloured, die cut flowers and leaves were added along the join. Splatters were added freely to the inside of the card as well as the front.

 Do you prefer the Flirty Flamingo card on the left or the Polished Pink one on the right?

CTC #408 CASE Mini Catalogue Bundles

 

This week I received a new suite of products from Stampin' Up! and I could hardly wait to play with these gorgeous papers - Hello Irresistable DSP.  The suite consists of Irresistable Blooms stamps & Dies, the Hello Irresistable DSP and some cute little gems, Loose Frosted Dots. If you want all 4 items you can use the code for the suite instead of ordering each part individually. Available 1st March, online only.

I was so excited in fact that I CASE-d two different bundles!!! This one was the Something Fancy bundle on page 83 at the back of the mini catalogue. Just like the art department at Stampin' Up! did, I've let the pattern paper do the major lifting. However, the Hello Irresistable DSP has paper which you can die cut flowers out of!!!

That advantage meant I was able to add to my project without even inking up stamps from the bundle and isn't that circle just so.... irresistible?

The birthday stamp from Something Fancy still filled that space nicely, and I do seem to need a few of these ‘belated’ birthday cards.

Two different sheets of paper have the flowers, so they come in two shades. There may be even more choices for the leaves.

The other bundle I CASE-d was Queen Bee, using the same bundle with the Hello Irresistable DSP.

The bee was heat embossed onto Petal Pink and all the die cuts were cut from the Hello Irresistable DSP.

When I checked my Flirty Flamingo card, I discovered the strip with a little fancy die cutting. I can't remember which project it came from but it's been added to the inside of this card.

We love for you to share your projects using the challenges. We do request that the projects you submit have been created especially for this challenge. You can CASE directly or be inspired by a sketch/layout, colour combo or embellishment. Ask to join our Facebook group, and then add a picture of your CASE letting us know which card or project you've CASE-d.

The very talented  Julia Quinn is next on this blog hop.
